finally i found this song.......can you imagine the struggle when you don't know a single word of the song and only know how it sound.

My mama is a Jamaican old head. She told me when this song dropped , despite him being white, the Jamaicans loved him.

Sorry Drake but this guy is still the best rapper from Toronto.

The 90s were a crazy time. Middle class blacks, with intact families, belting out Gangsta Rap. White guys from the projects rapping in Jamaican slang. Indian dude from the Carribean calling himself Apache. An Austrian who couldn't really speak English was the biggest star in Hollywood. A black dude was the best golfer in the world. I miss the 90s

I can't wait until the english version comes out!

I'm 40 and I tell you when I first heard this song as a kid it was the coolest sounding thing ever. Still slaps to this day.

Thanks to snow, as a child I thought that Canadians had Jamaican accents.

Snow never informed, true story. If you know, you know. Straight G.

Dude was casually roller skating down the street earlier today with this song bumping on the speaker hanging off his shoulder. Pure vibes. Listened to it like 10 times since.

Expectation: A Jamaican gangster Reality: John from accounting

You can't imagine how big of deal this song was in Italy in the summer of 1992.

If you know his backround , snow really was about that life believe it or not.

People call Snow a poser but he grew up in a Toronto housing project where most all of the other residents were Jamaican immigrants who organically influenced his cultural upbringing. He was surrounded by Jamaican people, music, slang, and accents growing up. And he also spent time in prison early in his career. The stuff he raps about isn't bullshit, it really happened. Snow may be a white, nerdy-looking Canadian dude but his music genuinely reflects his actual life experience. It's ironic because some of the black icons of 90s gangsta rap like Ice Cube and Puff Daddy actually grew up in middle class families, attended mostly-white suburban private high schools, went to college, and weren't involved in crime or gangs. Snow has way more legit street cred than those guys do but he's forever stuck with the "poser" label simply because he's white and Canadian.

The fact that Daddy Yankee got a hit from making a glorified cover of this theme, just proves how Informer is a timeless classic.

Idgaf 😂this song bangs! Am I a 90s boy? Absofuckinlutely! 🤘🏼

Everytime I hear this song. It bring me back in my early teens before I came and migrated in the US. This song was a big hit in the Philippines.

Guys the 90's were crazy!!! We had so many different textures and sounds when it came to rappers and voices. I miss this kind of diversity in music lately.

This is the final boss for people who are learning English lol.

Anyone in 2024 ?

Like Kendrick with the West Coast, this man Snow did more for Toronto/Canada culture than Drake ever did. Autheticly living what he sings about and repping Toronto constantly.

Some fun facts for the younglings here: Snow,grew up in a housing project in Toronto/Canada and used to hang out with a Jamaican crew,who tought him to speak padois and gave him the nickname "Snow White" that later became "Snow". The guy was a proper gangsta,he was actually in jail,for attempted murder,when the song was first released and became a local hit in Canada. After he got out,the song went huge in the charts it was practically everywhere back in 1993,there´s even a parody by Jim Carrey from "In Living Color". He could never repeat the success of "Informer" but is still performing as a MC and DJ and he also does lots of charity work in his old hood.

Whoever can decipher the lyrics is a genius, this is one of those songs that is timeless and never gets old

The algorithm is clearly in a good mood today. Not sure what I did to deserve this blast from the past. :)

miss the 90s. The best years❤❤❤❤

Dude actually grew up in a Jamaican community, they even encouraged him to persue his dream of being a reggae artist

When you studied a foreign language by a textbook for a whole year and finally met a native speaker.

2024年も聞いてる人🐬つーかずっーと聴くっしょ👂

I hope this man is doing well wherever and however he is because he was my childhood.

At the age of 43 finally this song makes 5% more sense than it did when I was 14. Edit: Thank you for all the likes and comments, I'm apperaciatevice that I'm not alone, we are in this together Gen X, much love.

I don’t care what anyone says, this song still goes hard.

Omg I've never heard this song before... and literally just heard Con Calma in my head. Well I had no idea that this song inspired it.. but this original is pretty amazing!

Great rapper whose career was cut short. Still one of the greatest hits ever.

All jokes aside,, this song is dope .

the lyrics:Informer You know say daddy me snow me I'll go blame A licky boom boom down Detective man said daddy snow I stabbed someone down the lane A licky boom boom down Informer You know say daddy me snow me I'll go blame A licky boom boom down Detective man said daddy snow I stabbed someone down the lane A licky boom boom down Police-a them-a they come and-a they blow down me door Break in an' crawl through, through my window So they put me in the back the car at the station From that point on I reach my destination Well the destination reached in down-a East detention Where they whip down me pants look up me bottom So Informer You know say daddy me snow me I'll go blame A licky boom boom down Detective man said daddy snow I stabbed someone down the lane A licky boom boom down Informer You know say daddy me snow me I'll go blame A licky boom boom down Detective man said daddy snow I stabbed someone down the lane A licky boom boom down So Bigger they are they think they have more power There on the phone me say that on every hour Me for want to use it once and-a me call me lover Lover who me callin'-a the one Tammy And me love her in my heart down to my belly-a Yes say Daddy Me Snow me I feel cool and deadly Yes the one MC Shan and the one Daddy Snow Together we-a love 'em as a tornado Informer You know say daddy me snow me I'll go blame A licky boom boom down Detective man said daddy snow I stabbed someone down the lane A licky boom boom down Informer You know say daddy me snow me I'll go blame A licky boom boom down Detective man said daddy snow I stabbed someone down the lane A licky boom boom down So Listen for me, ya better listen for me now Listen for me, ya better listen for me now When-a me rock-a the microphone, me rock on steady-a Yes-a Daddy Me Snow me are the article don But when i'm-a at a dance an they say, "Where ya come from?"

I miss thé good old days. Snow was a master! Everything used to be better.. Everything used to be more fun and everything sounded better we really had fun and enjoyed everything. Music was really music. Nowadays nothing means anything .

2024 and still bumping

If you weren’t from this time I can’t explain how absolutely hot this track was back in the day 💯

Can't wait for the English version

This song is absolute fire. Snow is just fire in general. Love his new records too. Absolute beast

He is speaking the language of gods.

The fact that literally no one can understand the lyrics and yet people are still listening to it shows just how good of a song this is

for those that think this is fast English.. He's speaking Jamaican patois.. he grew up in public housing when Jamaicans were coming in. he gained quite a reputation to say the least

had this on cassette. 30 years later i still have no clue what he's saying. still love it.

I was about 10 when this album was released. I used to play the cassette tape end to end for the longest time lol. It was the shit! Thanks to my older sis Mary for buying it for me!

Canadian Jamaican with a hard edge. Now that is the way

“What’s the password?” “It’s on the back of the router.” Back of the router:

LEGEND SNOW 🗣💥

Snow and PM Dawn were my staple beats in the 90's when I got tired of the mainstream hits.

Early 90's was the best time to be growing up in my opinion. So glad I was part of that generation who are now 40 plus years old. Great times

Big masterpiece actually. We will never forget this gem.

Daddy yankee did not invent this, I feel I've been lied my whole life.

Una de las mejores canciones para bailar Break Dance 😎✌🏻

Gonna try to learn this during the quarantine. Try.

I love how the music video's director clearly took the "licky bum bum down" line literally

Hearing this song is the cleanest, best pleasure.

Heard this when I was 12 and after a while got hooked on it. 32 years later I'm still hooked on it and I don't think that will stop anytime soon.

This is the song, what wasn’t recommended. Let’s be honest. We found it. And this is brilliant

Almost 30 years... and still slamming!

Bumping this in 2024 and I'll never stop!

I hadn't even thought of this song in over 20 years until a guy at work brought it up a year ago. Now my 9yo and 7mo love when I blast his catalog.

In 1994 he came to Rome to do a show. I was only 14 years old and I didn't know him and his work. At that time I was working in a CD store and I used to go there after classes. He walked in with two other guys and asked to see his own CD. When I handed it over, I realized it was his face on the cover. He laughed, bought the CD and gave it to me!

He makes it seam so easy to perform this kind of songs, but I hardly can follow the lyrics right in front of me. Now all these decades later you really appreciate what you took for granted back then.

The song is old. I like it

Bring me back to the good ol' days in number 1 Toronto Ontario Canada

Rappers eminem was too afraid to diss. 1. Snow

30 years later, this is a timeless classic from the early 90's 🙌🇧🇷

Joder esto es música 🎵😎 Quien más lo escucha en 2024 👇🏽✨

This song was always fire

Girl: Why don't you understand my signals? The signals:

A hit in 1993. A nostalgic remember in 2020.

Informer Since 1992👏

I was born in 1990. I wish I was a teen in the 90s. 😢

I was living in a hostel in mid 90s and my friend had this album and we used to play it end to end at the highest volume. I miss those crazy times. 90s forever...

He's speaking the language of the Gods.

Grade 8, this song took my game to the next level. Thanks snow ❄️

2024 standards for beauty the dancers still hold up 💯

I can still hear my dad yelling down the hall “ if I hear a licky moo moo cow one more time “” 😂😂 oh the good old days

Spend a second researching this guy. His upbringing and background in music is legit. No one made him like a boy band. He actually worked pretty hard to achieve what he has.

Dude ROCKED in South Africa during early 90s, My hood..... everyone was deciphering the words and trying to sing along😂😂😂😂😂

This is lagend!... 90's

A Canadian white, Jamaican rapper. Lol never gets old

Masterpiece, so much nostalgia, 90s was truly a golden era

Such a vibe still

I don’t even like much reggae but this is an absolute jam. Thanks In Living Color 😂

This guy broke music barriers like no other.

Drake: "I'm Canada's best rapper" Snow: "Hold my cocaine"

who's here in 2024?

I love this song and 90s forever who agrees with me?❤❤❤

when snow said "disjfhsdiufhsfhsdfudsfsdf" i felt that

Music is amazing. I hear this song and it's 1993 all over again. 22 years old, recently arrived in Japan, nothing on the agenda other than making a few yen and going out at night. Pretty sure I met my wife with this thumping in the background. 30 years, 3 kids later and I can still feel it all like yesterday.

He isnt even Jamaican, he learned to speak Patois while hanging out with Jamaican people and listening to Raggae music

Still a vibe in 2024

I thought Sean Pauls english is complicated, but Snows english is on another level.

I wasn’t necessarily a fan of snow, but I’m from Toronto, born and raised…. And I have mad respect for him. This is how the 90’s were in Toronto. Everyone hung out together and for the most part got along. Those really were the best times!

It seems insane given that he doesn't look the part, but Snow was actually legit gangster and this song is about him going down for attempted murder in '88 and not snitching out his accomplice (not to mention his earlier conviction for beating a dude half to death with a crowbar).

*Most important American Informers:* 1992 - Snow 2013 - Snowden

Still vibing to this in 2024

Banger. Can't wait for the English version!

Informer is like the polar opposite of Drake. He's white but he actually DID come from the streets, he wrote his own lyrics, and he prefers the company of grown-ups.

Snow is a legend.. lots of good songs, beautifull voice and a amazing flow.. He is 1 of a kind
